Answer:

The final depth of Melissa is 14 meters below the surface

Step-by-step explanation:

In this kind of problems, involving directions, etc, usually one position is the positive direction and the other position is the negative direction.

In our problem, we suppose that the surface is the positivo zero, above the surface is the positive position(positive depth) and below the surface is the negative directions(negative depth).

The problem states that Melissa is 29 meters below the surface. So, her initial position is 29 meters in the negative direction, so it is equal to -29.

Then, the problem states that Melissa rises upward 15 meters. Upward is the positive direction, so she moved to the positive direction. It means that we are going to do -29+15 = -14 meters.

It means that the final depth of Melissa is 14 meters below the surface

What is the y intercept of a line that passes through (1,-7) and (5,-25). How do I find it.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

y- intercept = - 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, - 7) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, - 25)

m = \frac{-25+7}{5-1} = \frac{-18}{4} = - 4.5 , then

y = - 4.5x + c

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the equation

Using (1, - 7), then

- 7 = - 4.5 + c ⇒ c = - 7 + 4.5 = - 2.5

y- intercept c = - 2.5

4x - 1<br> 2.<br> = x + 7<br> Can someone help please?
tatiyna

Answer:

6\frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-12 = x+7

4x-12+12 = x+7+12

4x = x+19

4x-x = x+19-x

3x=19

x = 6\frac{1}{3}

And if we substitute the value of x into the equation 4x-12 = x+7,

we will get 13\frac{1}{3} = 13\frac{1}{3} in the end.

Hope this helps :)

Solve the proportion X-16/x+6 = 3/5
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

x = 49

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{x-16}{x+6} = \frac{3}{5} ( cross- multiply )

5(x - 16) = 3(x + 6) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

5x - 80 = 3x + 18 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

2x - 80 = 18 ( add 80 to both sides )

2x = 98 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 49

The digits 4 comma 5 comma 6 comma 7 comma and 8 are randomly arranged to form a​ three-digit number. ​ (Digits are not​ repeate
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

0.1 or 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

The digits 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are randomly arranged to form a three digit number, where the digits are not repeated.

This is question of permutation.

Imagine this sum as; there are 3 boxes(blank spaces for digits) and 5 different fruits(digits) are to be put in these boxes, where a box can hold a maximum of only 1 fruit. The number of such permutations are: ⁵P₃

By formula (a! is factorial a):

ᵃPₙ = \frac{a!}{(a-n)!}

⁵P₃ = \frac{5!}{(5-3)!}

⁵P₃ = \frac{5!}{2!}

⁵P₃ = \frac{5*4*3*2*1}{2*1}

⁵P₃= 60

This is the total count of possible numbers that can be formed.

Now, for a number to be greater than 800 and even; first digit should necessarily be 8. Last digit can be 4 or 6. Using these conditions, there are 6 possibilities. 854, 864, 874, 846, 856, 876 are the numbers.

The probability that number is even and greater than 800 is:

P=\frac{ favorable outcomes}{equally likely possible outcomes}

P=\frac{6}{60}

P=\frac{1}{10}
